Instant Pot Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

This Instant Pot Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is a ridiculously easy way to turn plain garbanzo beans into a yummy dip or healthy side dish that goes with any meal. Plus, it’s not so spicy that the kids don’t like it, but has enough flavor to really turn your plain pita chips or veggies into a delicious snack.

You know I love my Instant Pot and not just for dinner! My Instant Pot is seriously one of the best kitchen tools I own. I use it all the time, multiple times a week. It makes cooking so much easier and stress-free. You just need to gather all of your ingredients, pop them into the pot, set it and walk away!

And that’s one of my favorite things about this recipe, too. Because you’re using a pressure cooker, you can just rinse and sort your dried chickpeas (yeah, you read that right, no need to soak chickpeas to make this hummus!) and go right into the cooking.

It’s seriously one of the easiest hummus recipes I’ve ever made.

So, let’s get ready to cook the beans and get our snack on!

Instant Pot Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe

This recipe serves 4-6 people for a snack or 2 hungry people for a dinner or lunch side dish.

Drain the chickpeas, but reserve a half cup of the cooking liquid. You might want to use it to thin the hummus, if desired after the beans have been creamed.

Using an immersion blender or food processor, blend chickpeas into a creamy consistency.

Add in red peppers and remaining ingredients and blend them together.

If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of the cooking liquid and stir. You may add as much liquid as needed to reach the desired consistency, but please note you might not need to add any liquid at all. The hummus should look and feel creamy.

The kids really love to have pita chips or tortillas dipped into this easy homemade hummus, and while I love that, too, we have also found that carrot sticks, celery, and even bell peppers are so tasty with this hummus recipe.

Oh, you’re all out of carrot sticks and chickpeas?! Oh, well, that’s ok. Just pin this to your favorite easy Instant Pot recipes board on Pinterest so you can find it quick when you get back from the store!
